I bought this bike for my daughters 8th birthday. It was perfect for her. I only needed pliers and a hex wrench to assemble.

Bought it for an 8 yr old turning 9 and she's little size 8-10 and it fits her good, sent it to bike shop to be assembled only because we are lazy loo

Hello Linda,I bought this for my 2 year old, the pedals were a little hard for him to reach. We moved the seat up as far as it would go and ended up also making some pedal blocks. My son is very tall for a 2 year old and he couldn't reach the pedals. The bike is awesome though and he loves it! Kristen

There is some assembly. Handlebars need attached to the neck with 4 Allen bolts. Front tire, seat and pedals. You will also need to adjust the deraiulers as both bikes were waaay off from the factory. Brake calipers need aligned and all rotors on both bikes were warped. Unless you are getting this for less than 400, I would recommend getting another brand. Paint quality and welds along with alignment before welding all could be improved.

I got this for my granddaughter when she turned 7. Se is very athletic and has good balance. It would be great for the 6 year old if he can balance his bike without training wheels. The 9 year old would like it unless he is a "big or heavy" kid", then it probably wouldn't go fast enough for him. The reason I say that is because both my granddaughters can ride the one I got, but it goes real slow. Hope this helps.

This bike was mad easy to build. Comes bascially 80% assembled. All you need to do it put both the wheels on with the pedals and handle bars. Tool needed just a wrench and some Allen keys. Hope this helped. Literally took me 5 mins. Prob because. I was really excited. And ou should also tighten everything

At about age six it's probably time to move to a bigger bike. My 7 year old still rides his, but he's tiny for his age and it's really too small.

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel. Have you looked into coaster bikes?

I bought this bike for my then 7 y/o daughter. She had moved up from a bike that required training wheels. I would recommend a smaller bike that comes with training wheels before purchasing this one.

How about a Vespa? Believe it or not this was fun for about 15 minutes. I had fun but I wouldn't trade my 1966 Schwinn away for it. I really believe it's more for a ten year old than an Adult. But it isn't a huge investment, it folds up and isn't bad to carry. An when you get done it fits inside the closet.

My opinion is that this bike might be too small for her. I am 5'6" and I would not want it any smaller. I have long legs and have adjusted the seat way up, so it's OK for me. It's a great bike, but it is on the small side.

my daughter is a tall4 year old and she is prob 6 months away from needing a 18 inch bike. sounds to me like you would be better off with a 18 inch

You will have to assemble this bike. Also, it is a little too much bike for my 8 year old son.

Yes. I would say this bike was perfect for my daughter. She was 2 years old when I got it. She couldn't quite peddle and I knew that would happen. Thats why I went with this bike because of the handle. She learned how to peddle and dont want any more help but i still have the bar just for when we come to a hill. She is almost 4 now and I would say its still in perfect shape.

I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle.. I am 5 ft 1 in and unable to ride an adult bike because my legs are very short due to rickets as a child. My balance is also not that good. My husband has my seat adjusted and replaced the original seat with one that was wider for more balance and comfort. Make sure you have the right air in the tires..it makes it much easier to pedal. She would have to be able to pull the brakes that are on the handle bar, but it has no gears and rides very smooth. I wish we lived close by so she could try mine. I think maybe she could master this bike. It has been a joy to me since I also cannot master a two wheeler. Good luck and God Bless..

This is not a "small" bike at all; definitely not too small for you.... daughter is 5'7" still has room to raise the seat if she keeps growing.

To me it was hard I am a female who enjoys putting things together but I needed help with someone who has a bike tool set. If you are going to assemble yourself I suggest a bike tool set. Personally I would pay to hAve it assembled if you can't find anyone to help you. This is a great buy I love this bike.

The one pictured would be too hard for a 7 year old to assemble alone. My 11 year old helped assemble ours but part of it broke during the assembly and I didn't hear back from the company about a replacement part.
